Removing a Cable from an SFP Transceiver
Caution When pulling a cable from a transceiver, grip the body of the connector. Do not pull on the jacket sleeve,
because this action can compromise the fiber-optic termination in the connector.
Caution If the cable does not remove easily, ensure that any latch present on the cable has been released before
continuing.
To remove the cable, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 2 Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull the
connector from the transceiver.
Step 3 Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver.
Step 4 Insert a dust plug onto the end of the cable.
